Help with Win 7 upgrade edition

[Michael_10]

My dad's PC is finally getting upgraded with a new processor, motherboard, ram and gpu. It has had an OEM copy of windows XP on it when we bought it about 5 years ago. We have bought an upgrade version of Windows 7 pro, but are just wondering if there is any way to transfer the OEM version of windows xp over? We also have an upgrade edition of windows vista home premium if that is any use??

I bought the upgrade disk because it was £40, compared to the £100 for the retail disk. And I think you can have XP or Vista installed, you don't need to have windows 7 already to upgrade it. If that was true then their "Anytime" upgrade would be completely stupid considering they cost like £140 and you can buy Windows 7 pro for £40.

I have a copy of XP though its been activated on quite a few PC's, though only one of those PC's is active now. Will I be able to install and activate without connecting to the internet?
